Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) Flooring Installation

Client Requirements

A prominent hotel in Central London required an anti-static floor installation within a compact plant room to meet operational safety standards and protect sensitive electrical equipment.

The project called for a specialist Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) flooring system that could be installed efficiently with minimal disruption to hotel operations.

Overview of Works

Although the floor area was only 14m² and access was limited, Zenith brought their expertise in specialist coatings to deliver the project swiftly and effectively.

Preparation was carried out using handheld diamond grinding equipment under vacuum extraction to maintain cleanliness. A copper tape conductive grid was installed and connected to an earthing point, forming the base of the ESD system.

The floor was primed with Epoprime ESD anti-static primer, followed by the application of KDR Epoflow ESD, a self-smoothing resin system laid at a nominal 3mm thickness by trowel.

To ensure compliance, electrical resistance testing was conducted upon completion, confirming that the system met required specifications for electrostatic protection.
